I walked into Da Law's room and everyone was smiling. His brother said, he's awake. I look at the bed and his wife says to him, "Russ is here, Russ is here." He raised his head, turned, saw me and his eyes focused on me. He was holding his wife's hand and lifted both in my direction.

He called his brother by name, his wife by a nickname. All good signs, but... we have a very, very long road ahead of us.

Thank you all for your generous prayers and good thoughts. They are greatly appreciated by all of us. Please, please keep them coming.

Thank you...

Awesome. I am glad he is in recovery and not still in a coma. That is wonderful news. I am happy that you and the family have some postive hope now.

I'm late to the party (what else is new) but adding my prayers as well.

It is very good to see over 2,000 viewings of the thread. Mrs. Da Law is very thankful for all the prayers and support.

Speaking of support, officers from his department have taken on responsibility for yard work around the house. Well, as soon as the grass grows back. Da Law ain't got a green thumb... He tried something new someone told him about and it killed the grass...

No news about his condition. Mrs Da Law told Mrs RussP and me to take the weekend off, but be there Monday. If anything changed, she would call. It's been quiet. That is good.

Again, all of us thank all of you for the prayers and, please, keep them coming.

Good to know that his department has his back as well. Praise G-d for this bit of progress. G-d is amazing. G-d bless, and know that healing is taking place. It may not be instantaneous, nevertheless it is happening. Continued prayers for the Da Law, his family, and his friends.

Today, I saw little, small, baby step improvements, more discernible to me because it's been four days since I saw him.

He did one thing that, well...

Mrs Da Law came. She talked with him. Held his hand. He woke up. She was holding his hand. After a few minutes, he started touching the wedding rings he'd picked out for her 11 years ago. He just rubbed them with his finger. She put her head on his shoulder. Da Law lifted his head, turned it a bit and leaned against her head.

We have a very long, long way to go on a very bumpy road.

Two of Da Law's Sergeant's came by today. I know one, another cop's cop. That's another long story.

Both offered their help and prayers. One said to me, "He's a good cop, a real good cop." I said, "Yeah, I know. He's good in many ways." They both nodded.

He's my friend. He's a cop.

Please keep the prayers coming. I send Mrs Da Law the view count every night. You do not need to post, just view, then say a prayer, for another cop.

Thank you, very much...
